I felt like it was going to be ok but now I’m starting to question myself. Does everyone get this giant pit in their stomach after the test? Is this normal?

I’m officially filing a complaint with my test center as there was a flickering light going on and off and it was driving me insane during the exam. That shouldn’t have been allowed.

Anyway

Really know your biostats, math, ethics, anticoagulants brand inhalers, mabs, chemoman, vaccines - especially which angle to inject at, proportions, tpns, gram stains, inducers, seizure meds, hla5701 v hla1508. I feel like these questions from these topics came up on repeat. I did not get a lot of depression questions but a few sleep otc questions and smoking cessation questions. You definitely need to know the compounding section. I got asked what tritation was and I thought that was weird. Oddly enough there were more preceptorship questions than I thought would be fair for this type of exam. Maybe 30 questions were not clinical at all but those soft science questions of “which is best or which should you do?” Really dumb for an exam about drugs but ok whatever

I do suggest taking practice exams for pacing and practice. I took pharmpreppro (PPP) which I felt was definitely a big help for preparing as it told me I needed work from my first exam scored a 64. Then studied 3 weeks and got a 76 on my second exam. Definitely would recommend that.

Uworld quiz bank I had access to for 90 days from my school, which honestly wasn’t a lot of time so I redeemed the question set right after I finished reading the book. I was scoring 60-70s towards the end with 80s in math. I strategically took my test so that even if I failed, I had about 30 days of the uworld questions to use. I definitely wouldn’t skip anything in uworld book, but they definitely lack when it comes to those softer science questions. I felt questions were harder on Uworlds too than the actual Naplex, Naplex questions felt similar to PPP. Maybe that makes for good prep but it really just gave me anxiety. Still do the questions tho!

TLDR:

My testing center sucked
See paragraph for exam topics - a lot of soft science questions
PPP exams were 64 and 76 (3 weeks apart)
Read all the Uworld Book
Scored 60-80s on uworld questions

Legitimately how do you all do this

I legitimately cannot keep calm

Exam is soon and I can’t keep rereading the book. What do I focus on

Took the pharmpreppro exam 20 days ago and scored a 64. I studied like 8 hours every day for basically 3 weeks and now I scored a 76 on the second exam. Is this good enough? My exam is in August.

I took my first pharmprepro exam a few weeks ago and got mid 60s. I ended up pushing my exam until August. Was wondering should I take my secondexam the week of my exam or earlier than that?

I scored a 64 on PharmPrepPro. Exam is in 4 days. Should I reschedule?

That’s me doing more partying than studying

Can we just skip this?
